The Director of Lagos State DNA and Forensic Centre, Richard Somiari, announced on Wednesday that the autopsy results for the late singer Ilerioluwa Aloba (aka Mohbad) would be available in three to four weeks.
During a coroner’s inquest into Mohbad's death, Mr. Somiari assured the court of the timeline for the autopsy results.The inquest, initiated by the Lagos State Government due to controversies surrounding Mohbad's passing, began on 13 October 2023 at the Ikorodu Magistrates’ Court.
Mr. Somiari testified, asserting, “We expected to get the first set of autopsy results in three to four weeks and re-confirm to authenticate the cause of the death."He emphasised the thoroughness of the investigation, including examining multiple possibilities, including the involvement of poison.
Regarding the security and monitoring of samples, Mr. Somiari assured the public of stringent measures, asserting, “We have a place where items are stored for safety and security of results. There is a procedure for monitoring samples moved abroad.”
Testifying at the inquest, Sadiq Ayobami, also known as Spendy, recalled seeing Mohbad the day before his passing.He mentioned attending a concert together and returning to his house, leaving before Mohbad's death.
The Coroner, Magistrate Adedayo Shotobi, adjourned the case to 15 April, directing all parties involved to be present on that day for further proceedings.
